In this Section we present an updated list of all ``WR galaxies'' outside
the Local Group.
As pointed out earlier we remind the reader that the working definition
for WR galaxies refers only to the detection of a broad WR feature in
an integrated spectrum, irrespectively of the included area.
This fact must be taken into account in subsequent interpretations.
By this working definition we also include some nearby objects
(e.g. NGC 300) which, although already known to harbour WR stars, were
not included in the catalogue of Conti (1991).
An inventory of the Galactic WR stars is found in the 7th catalogue of
van der Hucht et al. (1998; cf. van der Hucht 1996).
For individual WR stars and WR populations in the Local Group see
e.g. the review of Massey (1996).
